As the news report that US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth had a second signal chat in which he shared detailed military plans with his family One wonders if he was inspired by Mission Gainsborough from this episode of Blackadder Goes Forth 👀

The dysfunction of Starmer’s changed Labour Party locks into the Anglo-American establishment. Starmer’s official Govt partnership with Blackrock tells you all you need to know about the disgrace of the centre left and its capitulation to oligarchy.

Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin's final solution to the problem of democracy is to hollow out government, restructure it and run it like a corporation where 'laws become services that companies demand' (Shanker Singham). broderlineinteresting.substack.com/p/the-butter...

Cowardly. Kicking those least able to kick back. Starmer said these cuts would be in line with Labour values. Which means Labour values are to cut independence and dignity for those too sick to work. #tomorrowspaperstoday

I’ve been asking where we are with the development & expansion of European/allied (NOT 🇺🇸)controlled satellite systems given the lessons the 🇷🇺 war on 🇺🇦 have given us about their evident geo-political importance The excellent @alanbeattie.bsky.social has come to my rescue www.ft.com/content/0588...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Trying a video as reward for anybody who has started following here. 50MB maximum makes it more tricky, but let's have a go at a lower resolution version of our trip to the beach at first light yesterday. First time I'd seen the sun in weeks.

Happy birthday to Mabel. Despite her occasional worries about the world, she would follow you to the ends of it. Which she proved again a couple of days ago.

"A coup is in progress in the United States of America. This isn't hyperbole or partisan rhetoric—it's as demonstrable as the fact that there are twenty-four hours in a day or that two plus two equals four." This is an unnerving and clear-eyed assessment of what is happening. Recommended reading.

This is one my favourite shots that I’ve taken. It may not be liked by everyone and that’s fine, I like it because of the final image and the experience I had taking it. Let’s see your favourite photo that you’ve taken with a couple of lines as to why it’s your favourite. Thanks #photography

Even if it’s just a little fragment, I love this lion who roars at us from millennia ago. Mass-produced from a mould, this clay plaque of a lion — so detailed you can see the texture of its mane and fur and fangs — comes from ancient Nippur in Iraq

Star Trek: Lower Decks had heart, showing that friendship, cooperation, and love can conquer all. The very epitome of Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. I’ll be wearing out my Blu-rays watching this series again and again. Farewell, USS Cerritos. 🖖 #startrek #lowerdecks
